Exponential Priors for Maximum Entropy Models
Maximum entropy models are a common modeling technique, but prone to overfitting. We show that using an exponential distribution as a prior leads to bounded absolute discounting b...

Maximum entropy relaxation for multiscale graphical model selection
We consider the problem of learning multiscale graphical models. Given a collection of variables along with covariance specifications for these variables, we introduce hidden var...

Comparison of maximum entropy and minimal mutual information in a nonlinear setting
In blind source separation (BSS), two di erent separation techniques are mainly used: minimal mutual information (MMI), where minimization of the mutual output information yields ...

A Maximum Entropy Model Based Answer Extraction for Chinese Question Answering
We regard answer extraction of Question Answering (QA) system as a classification problem, classifying answer candidate sentences into positive or negative. To confirm the feasibil...
